>As someone in ML who's interested in performance, I'm keen for Mojo to succeed - especially the prospect of mixing GPU and CPU code in the same language. But I do wonder if the changes they're making will dissuade Python devs.
Unless it's open sourced, it's a moot point, as most Python devs wont come anyway.
This is a bit ironic, given that people seem to have no problem using CUDA all over the place... Plus they promise to open source with the 1.0 release. We'll see...
I don’t see irony there. We’re locked into CUDA due to past decisions. And in new decisions we don’t want to repeat that mistake.
I think that plan is to open source the compiler with 1.0 which is expected to be this summer. so in ~3-4 months time.
